If the plug is marked with the symbol and the fuse needs replacing, an approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same amp rating. If the plug is not marked, a fuse with the symbol, BS Kitemark, or both and BS Kitemark, of the same amp rating should be used. The fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red). Fuse covers are available from your Draper Tools stockist. If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be cut off and destroyed. *The end of the cable should now be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below. *WARNING: A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket outlet. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The mains lead is coloured Green and Yellow - Earth, Blue – Neutral and Brown – Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in your plug marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue.

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS, BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANT, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING THE CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or, any other electrical part possibly causing an explosion. g. When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns. b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review warning marks on all these products and on the engine. h. Use the battery charger for charging “lead-acid, lead-calcium and gel filled batteries only”. Do not use for charging dry-cell or Ni-Cad batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. For example, radios, torches etc. These batteries may explode and cause injury to persons and damage to property. 2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: a. When working near a lead-acid battery, someone should be within range of your voice, close enough to come to your aid. i. NEVER charge or boost and frozen battery. j. b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. NEVER allow clamps to touch one another or to contact the same piece of metal to prevent arcing. 3. OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: c. Wear complete eye, hand and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes when working with batteries. a. Do not use the charger in damp or wet conditions. d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eye with cool, clean running water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately. e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. -4- b. Keep out of reach of children. c. Do not submerge in water. d. Do not operate near flammables such as petrol, paraffin, or thinners etc. e. If the charger receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged in any way, do not disassemble. Have it checked by a qualified service person. Return to source. SAFETY FEATURES This battery chargers is fitted with the following safety features: 1. Polarity inversion protection. 2. Short circuit overload protection. 3. Thermal overload protection. Explanation of Symbols Featured on Rating Label: This is an indication that the machine is fitted with automatic overload protection. NOTE: After an extended period of charging especially in the "fast" charge mode, the thermal cut-out protection may be activated. This is to allow the charger a sufficient amount of time to cool down. Once the charger has sufficiently cooled, then charging will recommence automatically. -5- GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BATTERY CHARGER (4) (5) (3) (2) (1) (6) (10) (9) (7) (8) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) On/Off switch.

UNPACKING: After removing the packing material, make sure the product is in perfect condition and that there are no visible damaged parts. If in doubt, do not use the battery charger and contact the dealer from whom it was purchased. The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene etc.,) must be disposed of in an appropriate refuse collection container. These materials must not be left within the reach of children as they are potential sources of danger. -6- OPERATION AND USE BATTERY INFORMATION: Before proceeding with the charging of the battery ensure that the battery to be charged is within the recommended amperage range for the charger (see table below). PART NO. RECOMMENDED MIN. Ah RECOMMENDED MAX. Ah BC30A 30Ah 200Ah If the battery amperage rating is not stated or you are unsure about the rating please see the table below for some typical ratings. EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL VEHICLE BATTERY Ah RATINGS: (For guidance only). ENGINE CAPACITY <1300cc 5 - 15Ah 15 - 30Ah 35 - 45Ah - 60 - 110Ah >1300cc - - 45 - 65Ah 45 - 65Ah 60 - 110Ah Diesel - - 60 - 90Ah 60 -90Ah 60 - 110Ah BEFORE CHARGING YOUR BATTERY: NOTE: We recommend that the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. This will avoid any possible damage to the alternator. Loss of codes for audio and security systems can be avoided by connecting a Draper Memory Saver (Part No.CMS1 - Stock No.38330) or similar product before disconnecting the battery. Check the car battery voltage matches that of the charger's capability. Before connecting the battery charger to the battery ensure that the charger and battery are on a level surface. If the battery has cell filled caps loosen and remove them to assist the escape of charging gases. (If the battery being charged is a maintenance free, gel filled or sealed battery, refer to the appropriate section below). Once the cell caps have been removed, check the level of the electrolyte and top up if necessary. MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERIES: (Low Maintenance Batteries) These batteries often have cells with no filler caps and therefore cannot be topped up with distilled water. GEL FILLED AND OTHER SEALED BATTERIES: This type of battery normally contains gel electrolyte and may be referred to as "Dry Fit". They are most commonly used in applications such as, electric golf trolley's, mobility wheelchairs, camping, caravanning and marine activities etc. To charge this type of battery, requires a charger fitted with a temperature sensor compensation which allows continuous adjustment of the unsupervised charge to avoid overcharging and loss of electrolyte by 'gassing' which can shorten the life of the battery. -7- OPERATION AND USE It is recommended to remove the battery from the vehicle. With the machine disconnected from the power supply, connect the positive red clamp (+) to the positive terminal of the battery and connect the negative black clamp (-) to the negative/earth terminal of the battery. CONNECTING (FIG.1.): Connect the battery charger to the power supply, and press switch (A) into the 'I - ON' position. The display (B) will show the battery voltage e.g. U07 would be 7 volts. It will then display the charge current e.g. A05 would be 5 amps. If the battery charger has been connected with the polarity reversed, i.e. positive to negative, negative to positive, the display will read noP. Fig.1. (A) (B) BATTERY TYPE SELECTION (FIG.2.): With the unit switched 'On' press button (C) to cycle through the indicator LED's (D) and select the appropriate charging mode for the battery type. Press button (E) to cycle through the indicator LED's (F) and select the appropriate voltage for the battery type. Fig.2. (D) (F) (C) (E) -8- OPERATION AND USE BATTERY CAPACITY SELECTION (FIG.3.): Rotate dial (G) until the batteries Ah (amp hour) rating is displayed (30 - 200Ah). The Ah rating is usually marked on the battery by the voltage information. Once set the charger will input the appropriate current into the battery according to it's size/capacity. NOTE: On all maintenance type batteries, remove the filler caps and adjust the levels before commencing charging. Failure to remove the caps could lead to a build up of the explosive gases which are released during charging. Stand the battery on a suitable surface, in a well ventilated area. After the charge cycle is complete the display will read 'END'. When this point is reached and if the charger is left connected the buffer function will monitor the voltage and if necessary recommence a trickle charge to keep the battery at the optimum level. During Fig.3. the charge period, occasionally check the battery condition is good. When charging is complete, press the switch to the '0 - Off' position. Disconnect the charger leads and refit the battery as appropriate. NOTE: Ensure the maintenance caps (if applicable) are replaced and tight. THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION Fig.4. (FIG.4.): The thermal overload protection will activate if a problem is detected to prevent the unit overheating. When 'H00' is displayed the charge current will stop until the unit has cooled down. -9- (G) OPERATION AND USE NOTE: If the charger is accidentally operated when not connected to a battery, power to the leads is denied to prevent sparking or short circuit. FUSE (FIG.5.): As an additional protection method the unit is fitted with 30 amp blade fuse. If a problem is encountered the fuse will blow to avoid damage to the charger or battery. Fuse (H) is a spare. Switch off and disconnect the charger, replace the fuse and retry. If the fuse blows again, contact an authorised service agent. - 10 - Fig.5.
